Tucker is learning to play the video game Alien Attack. In the game, players need to outsmart the aliens who have landed on Earth. Tucker had –50 points. Then, he earned –35 points when he was captured by the aliens.

Question

How many total points does Tucker have now?

(1 point)
points

Answer 1

To find the total points Tucker has, we need to add his initial points to the points he earned (which in this case is a negative value):

Initial points: -50
Points earned (captured): -35

Total points = Initial points + Points earned
Total points = -50 + (-35)
Total points = -50 - 35
Total points = -85

Therefore, Tucker now has -85 points.
